Objective: To observe the effect of moxibustion combined with intermittent urethral catheterization on vesical function in the patient of neurogenic vesical dysfunction.
Methods: Seventy-six cases were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, 38 cases in each group. The control group was treated with routine intermittent urethral catheterization and the observation group with the intermittent urethral catheterization and moxibustion on Guanyuan (CV 4), Mingmen (GV 4), Zusanli (ST 36), etc. Changes of residual urine volume, white cell count and the balance state of the urinary bladder were selected as the indexes of therapeutic effect and the therapeutic effects were compared between the two groups.
Results: The total effective rate was 97.4% in the observation group and 79.0% in the control group with a significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.05); after treatment, there were significant differences between the two groups in the residual urine volume, the bladder volume and the case numbers reaching to the functional balance state of bladder (all P < 0.05), and there was no significant difference between the two groups in white cell count change (P > 0.05).
Conclusion: Moxibustion combined with intermittent urethral catheterization can significantly improve vesical function in the patient of neurogenic vesical dysfunction, reducing residual urine volume, increasing volume of bladder, promoting the balance state of vesical function, but it is basically same as intermittent urethral catheterization in prevention of urinary infection and therapeutic effect.

Pediatric Nephrology AB, Faculty of Medicine, Karadeniz Technical University, Trabzon, Turkey.
Purpose: Study aimed to compare incidence of urinary tract infection (UTI), type of bacteria grown, development of antibiotic resistance over 2 years in children whose caregivers underwent training based on the Roy Adaptation Model with an android phone application for patients clean intermittent catheterization (RAMACIC) versus those whose caregivers received routine training in hospital.
Method: This study was conducted as a descriptive, prospective study with 40 patients and caregivers between October 2021 and 2023 as a continuation of a previously conducted randomized controlled experimental study by the researchers. Data were collected the "Participant Form," and "Urine Test Form" analyzed with the SPSS 22 package.
Predicting Elevated Postvoid Residual Urine Volume Following OnabotulinumtoxinA Treatment for Overactive Bladder: A Pilot Study.
Low Urin Tract Symptoms
January 2025
Allergan, an AbbVie Company, Marlow, UK.
Objectives: To evaluate possible predictors of elevated postvoid residual volume (PVR) following onabotulinumtoxinA administration in patients with idiopathic overactive bladder (OAB), a condition that may include urinary urgency, frequency, and nocturia, without any identifiable cause or underlying neurological or metabolic condition.
Methods: Adults who had been treated with 100-200 U onabotulinumtoxinA for OAB and had previous failure of other OAB treatments were identified by retrospective review of medical chart data from three urology clinics in the United States treating patients with a variety of urological conditions. A total of 211 patients were allocated to cohorts based on posttreatment PVR < 200 mL (n = 173) and ≥ 200 mL (n = 38).
A rare case of spondylodiscitis.

Division of Infectious Diseases, Department of Medicine, University of Kansas, Kanas City, KS, USA.
A 55-year-old-male with a chronic left uretero-pelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction managed with intermittent stent exchanges presented with low midline back pain. CT Abdomen/Pelvis revealed spondylodiscitis at L4-L5, further demonstrated on MRI Lumbar spine. Imaging also revealed the left nephro-ureteral stent was mispositioned, with some mild wall thickening of the left ureter.

Objectives: To show that robot-assisted laparoscopic cutaneous continent urinary diversion (RALCCUD) is feasible and safe; however, data on clinical outcomes in adults are lacking.
Materials And Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of all adults who underwent RALCCUD between 2017 and 2022 at a single tertiary reference centre.Patient characteristics, clinical information and perioperative outcomes were recorded.
Low-frequency bladder vibration for the treatment of urinary tract infections in spinal cord injury patients with neurogenic bladder.
Int Urol Nephrol
December 2024
Department of Nursing, The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, Suzhou, China.
Purpose: Evaluate if low-frequency bladder vibration (LFBV) combined with clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) alleviated urinary tract infections (UTIs) in spinal cord injury (SCI) patients with neurogenic bladder (NB).
Methods: A single-blind randomized controlled trial was conducted. Patients who developed UTIs while rehabilitating from SCI were enrolled continuously between January 2021 and March 2023 and randomly assigned to the control or the intervention group.
